he's written books about both the cia and the fbi. do you believe the rivalry between the fbi and cia played any sort of a role in the petraeus downfall? >> well, cia does have a right to be furious and there is a scandal here but it is not about sex. adultery is not a federal crime. the scandal is that a single rogue fbi agent appears to have taken it upon himself to leak the raw reporting in this case to a member of congress. that's not how the game is played. that is a dirty business. >> you're talking about the agent that was contacted initially and wasn't part of the fbi investigation, but had some knowledge because he was the one that passed it on to his superiors, he then apparently went to someone who went to eric cantor, and that sort of started the ball rolling. that's not how this came out. is he really a major player in all of this? >> i think he should be and i think he will be. because that is dishonorable conduct. the fbi and the cia spent the second half of the 20th century at war with one another and their feuding was

>> the person representing the cia and the cia's knowledge will be mike morrell, the now acting director of cia, previously in the 9/11 attack, the deputy director. mike is a career officer who is perfectly competent to represent the cia and testify on their behalf. now, congress can ask petraeus to come up and testify. question is if he was not willing to cooperate, could they subpoena him? i suppose it's possible. i think all of that is unlikely. i think if they ask him to appear, i expect that it is likely he would be willing to do that. we can't be sure, but frankly, rather than go through that, it ought to be about the facts of benghazi and 9/11 and congress ought to be able to get the information they need from the cia through mike morrell. >> fran, i heard this and give me your opinion on it, that there's got to be something more to this than maybe just the e-mails. do you think we'll find out any more information or is this it? it's over, he resigned, case closed? >> i think the administration and obviously dave petraeus would like the story to be done now. he's resigned. we know

the right and conservative media outlets have been going after the administration over reports that cia leaders denied repeated requests for their people in benghazi to help in the fight. and just yesterday, a senior official denied that to cnn, that that ever happened. that whole back and forth, they say, never happened. so just days before this election, on november 6th, do you think that this will have any impact on who wins or do you think this is just an argument for ideologues here? >> i think it is the latter, don. i think this is a highly politicized set of charges and countercharges. i think the republicans have been searching for some entry point to criticize obama on foreign policy. obama had what the public regards as generally a pretty successful foreign policy. libya proved to be one place they could go in, because there was a -- there was a mishandling of the events right after the assassination, the murder of the ambassador. they didn't know what was happening. they got out some wrong information. but the idea that there was some kind of purposeful, you know, cover-up, t
